The Dry Bronx martini is essentially a variation of the much more traditional Bronx Martini. As with many cocktails or martini that has the word dry in them, this martini is made with the dry vermouth as one of the ingredients.

The Dry Bronx martini is lighter and not as sweet as the other variations of this drink. The difference is mostly from the type of vermouth that is used in the drink. A much sweeter variation is the Sweet Bronx martini which is made with the sweet vermouth instead of the dry vermouth in this recipe.

The use of bitters, especially if use the orange bitters can enhance the flavor of the orange in the recipe. You could also use Angostura bitters if you don’t have any orange bitters handy.

Tips

You can add bitters to the shaker instead of swirling it in the glass. Either will work but swirling it later gives it slightly different after taste that I prefer.

The drink is usually served up in a martini glass. You could however serve it in an old fashioned glass as well.
